FROM OVER THE OCEAN.

Capt. and Mrs. John McLure and Daugh-
ter Home from Europe.
Can't. and Mrs. John Mcclure and daugh'
ter, Miss Bette, who have been off on an
extended European trip, returned home,
Saturday, much improved in health and
highly pleased with the trip. They sailed
from New York on the fine steamer City o.
Rome, and returned on it. Their voyage
over the ocean was a pleasant one, going,
but when four days out from
Liverpool, on the return voyage, a
heavy storm struck the ship. That
was last Sunday, and it may he well
imagined that the day was not all a
pleasant Onc. The weather did not clear
up until Monday, until which time the
passengers did not see much outside OF the
cabin and their staterOOms.
The Captain and both the ladies escaped
the dread of ocean representations
and all enjoyed good health in coming and
going, and in fact throughout their trip. So
they naturally return with nothing but
pleasant remembranCes and impressions.
About the only sad incidents that occurred
on shipbOard was the death of Il gentle
man passenger on the way over, and the
death of an infant coming hack. The lit
tie one was buried at sea, and the cerc-
mOny was very impressive and touching
The ocean voyage each way occupied about
seven days, and their our of Europe was
a pretty general one, covering a good deal
of territory and embracing most OF the
principal cities and finest sights.

SUPERINTENDENT GAS WORKS.
A Correspondent Gives Some Reasons VIII
the "IntelIigencer' Want. n Change.

A Correspondent Gives Some Reasons Why
In "Intelligencer'' Want. n Change.
To the Editor of the Register.
The Iateligencer demands the appoint
ment of Mr.. Dillon to the SUPPLEMENTARY
of the Gas Works, on account of his past
services in planning and perfecting the i'm
prOvements made at the works during the
past six years. How true is this? We
make the assertion and defy It's coairddic-
ton, that Mr.. ID. Rerer made The plan Of a
single improvement at the works while he
had charge of them. Every work of the
kind was done by contractors, who fur
nished plans with their bids and did the
work according to the plans furnished by
themselves. Mr.. ID. never furnished a
plan. The only original work of his vas
the cementing Of the joints in the large
gas mains on Jacob and Fourteenth streets.
This resulted in the loss of thousands of
feet of gas by leakage, and the digging up
OF the mains and replacing OF the cement
with lead, at a cost of thousands OF dollars
to the city.
His great skill as a manufacturer Of gas
was shown In the experiment al Middle
port, a year or two ago. Why don't the
L~Rteuigencer say that Mr.. D. is to be APP
pointed, because be is a dyed in the wool
Republican, and is expected to run the
Gas Works as IN adjunct TO the Repub-
tican party. He is expected TO change the
Democratic Fourth ward into a Repub-
lican n and assist in the election Of an
other Council like the present me-. This
is the last scheme ofthe cock loft, caucus
and it is going through with a rush. The
Democrats, who assist in this scheme, will
hear something drop. d.

a ten inning game of ball on the tunnel
green yesterday afternoon. The ZANE was
full of eNcitement, three-baggers and kick
ing on both the umpire and scOrer-the

the game. Had it not been for the kick
ing it wOuld undoubtedly have been as fine
a game as played on the grounds this sea
son. Ii must be admitted that the score
ruu rather high, but lowing to it being tied
several times made it very exciting, and
had it not been for the kicking it would
also have been very interesting.

A WeIl-KnOwn Tough Female Wades Out

A WeI-KnOwn Tough Female Wades Out
i'm the River and Lays Down.
About halt. past seven o'clock yesterday
morning a good deal OF excitement was Oc'
casiOned along the wharf and on the lower
part of the Island by the circulation of the
report hat a woman had committed sui
eide by Jumping in the river. People who
keep track of the stage of water had some
doubts of the ability Of the female to leave
this world by any such route, and Their
suspicious were soon changed into facts by
the sight of two men, William Schell and
William Truax, Juggling the form of a very
wet and b~edraggled IN to land. The
wOuld-be suicide is the somewhat notO-
riOus Jennie Colts, who had been out all
night, and from remOrse or something else
had taken u notion to drown herself. ,Jen-
ME waded ont into the river and padded
around for a time, but dispairiDg OF finding
water enough to drown herself in she de-
liberately lay down in the bed of the
stream. 1t was at this juncture hat she
was found and dragged ashore.
At the City Hall, whittier the woman
was taken, she stated that she would have
Jumped OFF the bridge, hut l was afraid OF
breaking my neck"
Jennie is a tough citizen. She is the
woman who, a few weeks ago, claimed to
have been robbed Of il pair of diamond ear
rings and two diamond finger rings in a
~well-known house of i'll fame, and who was
sent up TO Jail by Justice Davis for drunk
enneSs on her going to his Office to make a
complaint. She was also one oft prin-
cipal witnesses i'll the case against
James Cahill, who WAS arraigned
before Justice Ralph Ankle, Friday night,
which resulted in the Saloonist being
held TO the grand jury. Mr.. Cahill claims
that the woman who brought the charge
did him a gross iDjnstice, and that he is
innocent Of the allegations made.
